So what coilovers did you buy? Were they for a w211? Also did you have to use w211 rear control arms?

Yes w211 coilovers work, e320/e350 03-07 rear lower spring guides (control arms) is what you need as well

Ok thanks for confirmation! That is what I gathered from searching online.

A full alignment was done to correct the Toe and Caster (as far as camber goes nothing I can do without adjustable arms) but -2.8 on the camber is somewhat tolerable. The car does not rub even with 4 ppl in the car. This is how it currently sits



I love your stance. The car is sitting perfectly with those wheels. What are your wheel specs?

Wow they look awesome. How much camber to fit these wheels and what tire size are you running.

Need more pics.

Any rubbing when turning? That seems like a LOT of wheel under the front and rear.

no rubbing but wheels were narrowed down to 10 and 11.5 due too too much stretch, I just put smaller barrels and the lips are still the same
